Lee Bum-ho, manager of the Kia Tigers, has been steadily developing lineup since his days as a batting coach. He used to recommend lineup to coach when he was a coach, but now he is playing the role of collecting opinions from batting coach Hong Se-wan to make the final decision.바카라

As a teacher who has been watching Kim Do-young since he joined the team, I believe the best batting order is No.3. I think it's a waste to put it at No. 1 or No. 2. This is because there is no runner or only one. On the other hand, if you are the third batter, there may be two runners on the floor, and there are more opportunities in scoring positions. This is why I think it is right for Kim Do-young, who has good clutch ability, to enter No. 3.

Coach Lee Bum-ho recently returned from the first Irvine spring camp, leaving room for changes to Kim Do-young's batting order. Of course, he said the answer is to use it for No. 3, but he added that it is assumed that the first and second batters are in good condition.

In other words, if the first and second batters are not in good condition or cannot form an optimal table setter, Kim can raise his batting order. In fact, Kim has played leadoff or second batter since her debut. As Kim himself and his team exploded last year, he naturally became the third hitter. In any case, batting order can be changed depending on circumstances, conditions, and opponents. Basically, Lee seems to have talked about principles.

However, Kim's rise in batting order is not strange at all in the modern baseball trend. In the Major League, some players hire the best hitter in their team as a leadoff beyond putting him at No. 2. In fact, the Los Angeles Dodgers use Shohei Ohtani as a leadoff. It has been more than 10 years since the term "strong second batter" was coined.

The reason is simple. There is a higher probability that the first hitter will come to the batter's box than the second hitter. And the traditional role theory of batting order in modern baseball has faded a lot. In fact, it is true. The first hitter is the first hitter in the first inning only. Depending on the flow and circumstances of the game, many people come to the batter's box to have an RBI chance. Similarly, the fourth hitter in some cases comes into the batter's box as the leadoff hitter in innings. Considering this, it is persuasive to say that putting a batter who plays well first is a gain in probability.

Coach Lee Bum-ho, who I watched last year, said, "I don't like to change the batting order often. If the team is in good flow and each individual is in good condition, I tend to push ahead constantly regardless of the opponent. The best combinations I found were Park Chan-ho, No. 2 Socrates Brito, No. 3 Kim Do-young, No. 4 Choi Hyung-woo, No. 5 Na Sung-bum, and No. 6 Kim Sun-bin.

Basically, he needs to think about the second batting order this year. Choi Won-joon is the most likely and suits him the most. Park Chan-ho and Choi Won-joon table setters are quite attractive in that they combine contact and mobility. However, if one of them is not in good condition, there is no rule not to drop him to No. 9 and put Kim Do-young on No. 2.

In fact, it is not easy to turn the Park Chan-ho and Choi Won-jun tablesetter throughout the season. This is because the two are shortstop and center fielder who are burdened with physical strength in defense. If you have a lot of defensive activities and go to bat often, it may be difficult to maintain your performance. In the case of Park Chan-ho, he played a good leadoff role, but no one knows what else will happen this year.

Even if Kim Do-young gets into No. 2, she will be able to build a right-left, right-left center-hitting line naturally with No. 3, No. 4 Patrick Wisdom, and No. 5 Choi Hyung-woo. If Kim Do-young is in No. 3, it is not easy. Na Sung-bum or Choi Hyung-woo should go down to No. 6.

Still, chances are high that Lee will use Kim Do-young as No. 3. However, sometimes people can expect a different combination. Wisdom's adaptation to the KBO League is also a variable, and other hitters who can move up to No. 2 including Kim Sun-bin and Lee Woo-sung should also be checked for their batting conditions. Lee's batting order, which will be presented after happy thoughts, will be revealed at the first practice game against the Hiroshima Toyokaf on Tuesday.
